Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console

Today the team at Infinity Ward made a very surprising announcement where they unveiled a special Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console. The console retails at 399.99 and comes with a custom Xbox 360, a 250GB hard drive, 2, yes that’s 2 Xbox 360 wireless controllers, a standard Xbox 360 headset and the standard edition of Modern Warfare 2.

As you see, it is pretty hot, especially that faceplate. Now as why it didn’t come with the limited edition of the game, or throw in one of those exclusive Mad Catz headsets, I do not know, but I still really want to get my hands on one of them.

Here is what Activision had to say:
